Deep healing. Real Change.
Welcome to Juniper Therapy Center.
You’re here because the status quo just isn’t working for you anymore.
We know that life can be incredibly hard, and sometimes it feels like you’re broken or things can’t get better. We also know that healing is possible – and we want to help get you there.
Maybe you’ve done therapy before, and you felt better after venting, but nothing in your life really shifted. We want to help you change all that.
HERE’S WHAT WE BELIEVE
Therapy should work.
Anyone can heal.
Sometimes just talking through an experience isn’t enough to shake its impact.
Juniper Therapy Center specializes in treating PTSD and cPTSD (complex posttraumatic stress disorder) in adults, as well as attachment issues, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, low self-esteem, life transitions, and dissociative disorders. We utilize compassionate and attuned methods informed by modern neuroscience to help get you where you want to go.
Each of our therapists brings a unique blend of experience, expertise, and warmth and is committed to being with you on your journey towards true healing.
We’re proud of you for being here, and can’t wait to meet you.

Our Shared Values
Compassionate Understanding
The heart of good therapy is feeling deeply seen and understood with radical compassion. We see your challenges as ways of coping with difficult circumstances, and we believe that every part of you deserves respect and care – even the parts that feel broken or lost.
Attuned and Effective
Therapy is a big investment of time and money, and it isn’t one-size-fits-all. We listen with open hearts, tailor our approaches to your individual needs, and refine our methods as needed to ensure your therapy is both insightful and impactful. If it’s not, we re-evaluate what we’re doing.
Humility
You are the expert on your own life and experiences, and we will work together as a team. We acknowledge the impact of social injustice and systems of oppression on mental health, and strive to create a space of inclusivity and validation for all while holding awareness of how our own identities can show up in our relationships with clients.
Informed by Modern Neuroscience
Sometimes talking isn’t enough. We believe that understanding the brain and nervous system is key to unlocking lasting change. We work with you to incorporate this knowledge into our therapy, with the goal of helping you truly know, in your head and in your heart, that the past is over and you’re free to be present now.

By the way,
It’s okay if you’re not sure about this.
Going to therapy can be scary, especially if you’re holding deeply painful wounds from the past. It makes sense if you’re not sure this is right for you. Therapy can be a great place to explore the divide between wanting to heal and being unsure about it, too. Either way, I want you to know that we’ll be here when you’re ready, and we’ll always go at your pace.
So take your time, and reach out when it feels right. In the meantime, feel free to explore our site to see what resonates, and check out our blog for education, resources, and self-led activities.
